The ALA does not have a recommended list of magazines for children, though from time to time, one of our journals--especially ''Book Links'' and ''Booklist''--will publish a review of magazines, or include one in a review. Some libraries have prepared lists for their readers, for example, the Monroe County (Indiana) library; see [http://www.monroe.lib.in.us/childrens/kidsmags.html]

Readers' Advisory is a service provided by public libraries, typically. ALA assists only in guiding librarians to the resources--in the form of reviews, targeted reading lists, or through the selection of winners and notable books that are part of our Media Awards--that can help them provide this service to their patrons. There are a number of other tools, as well, including books and databases devoted to specific genres. Some of these are listed in our Selection resources.
